Andrea was reminded of needlework with this adorable embroidery hoop die.

My mom is brilliant with any sort of needlework. All my life, she’s embroidered beautiful tablecloths and has cross-stitched Christmas stockings and pictures that have turned our houses into homes. This Hoop Die from Neat and Tangled reminded me of her, so I used it on two different styles of cards. I utilized a great new stamp set called Love You Mean It from Concord and 9th for the “smile” sentiment and some of my favorite little birds from Technique Tuesday’s Chickadees stamp set.

I was inspired by ‘Noel’ and ‘Notebook’ and made a journal to document the month of December. I used Tim Holtz Journaler Worn Cover as my base and decorated it with a die cut word, ephemera and idea-ology pieces. On the inside, you’ll find stamping, and lots of tags and journal cards. Now I am all set for journaling my December memories.

We recently found out that the house we have been renting for the past four years is going to be sold, and we will have to move. I made this art journal page with the number of the new house that we will be moving to using a Tim Holtz Plaquette and some Big Chat to document some thoughts on moving. Lots of great bright colors on this page too using the new Ranger Paint Dabbers in Blue Ribbon, Caribbean Coast, and Electric Lime.

For me the month of November is all about Remembrance and I chose to create a canvas panel in honour of heroes past and present! I applied texture paste through the Gothic Layering stencil, adding it directly onto my canvas before painting over the top with Distress Paints. As the focal point, I made two poppies using the Tattered Florals die and the spiky flower punch and attached these with a metallic gold plaque, using the Alphanumeric Thinlits die to spell out the word ~ Remember!

A bit of glitter, a touch of glue, and my new Sizzix Village Dwelling Die was all I needed to create a miniature Winter Cabin. But it t wouldn’t be Winter without the snow, so the Village Winter Die was a must-have as well. I am so pleased with my new purchases. This project was fun to create!

Sandra was inspired by the color navy for her art journal spread
I had lots of fun making this art journal spread. For this challenge I wanted to use navy blue. A color I don’t often use. I’m more of the turquiose blue. But now I’m thinking I like the navy blue too. I started with a layer of Gesso. With a brush and Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans Distress Ink I made the background. Love how it moves and dries on Gesso.

Suzz opened up the dictionary under the letter “N” and the word at the top of the page was “Navigate”.
